Les images qui restent, les images qui manquent - Photographies du Népal

Images That Remain, Images That Are Missing is a display at the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac devoted to photographs of Nepal held in its collections. From 19th-century royal portraits to contemporary work by Prasiit Sthapit, it brings together groups of photographs rarely or never shown before.

The selection explores how a country becomes visible through images. Photographs shape historical narratives and bring certain subjects to the fore, while others remain absent from the collections or the ways they are used. These gaps are as much a part of the inquiry as the surviving documents.

Installed in the Boîte arts graphiques on the Plateau des collections, this temporary display connects the history of representations of Nepal with the perspectives that continue to reshape them.
